9/11 Memorial Parade

Submitted by tesser88 on July 20, 2011 - 8:28am

The Hobart Jaycees, together with parade creator Holly Sandilla, plan to host a memorial twilight parade to commemorate the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The parade in downtown Hobart is scheduled to begin at dusk Sept. 11 and will be lit by first responder lights and candlelight.

As part of the event, the parade route will be lined with handprints that represent each life lost on Sept. 11 as well as those who lost their lives in military operations that followed.
The parade, planned as a solemn event filled with police, fire and military men and women and their families, is slated to conclude with inspirational speakers and a musical tribute.

The parade is in the planning stages, and Hobart Jaycees are looking for businesses interested in becoming sponsors and individuals to serve on the planning committee or make donations.

For more information, contact parade co-chairwoman Christina Meadows at (219) 945-0909 or hobartjaycees{at}yahoo.com.
